LOVE ME LIKE YOU USED TO
(Paul Davis / Bobby Emmons)


Johnny Cash - 1985
Tanya Tucker - 1987



        

In a cozy little restaurant for lovers
It seems so out of place for you and me
We used to play around under the covers
But now it's just a place to watch TV

So love me like you used to when our love was brand new
And darlin', when we're through you can love me again
And hold me like you want to instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me when you used to love me

Maybe we could use a long vacation
But the trouble here is bound to tag along
We used to be each other's inspiration
When it only took my touch to turn you on

So love me like you used to when our love was brand new
And darlin', when we're through you can love me again
And hold me like you want to instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me when you used to love me

Well, we used to sit and talk about forever
But now we hardly ever talk at all
We walked a lot of tightropes together
We always caught each other when we'd fall

So love me like you used to when our love was brand new
And darlin', when we're through you can love me again
And hold me like you want to instead of like you have to
Love me like you used to love me when you used to love me
Love me like you used to love me when you used to love me
